I am a native Texan, auntie, ice cream-loving, roller skating, retired professional athlete who also happens to be a Therapist. My background in the world of mental health dates back 10 years, in my work with families of Autism, Substance abuse and misuse, Student-athletes, Life- transitions, and family therapy. I enjoy introducing people back to themselves as they unpack their past with grace and patience. If you are experiencing racing thoughts, overthinking, or people-pleasing, let our work together find the root cause and, from there, uncover solutions that work for you. I believe that therapy does not have to be "forever," and my role is to safely get you to a place of wholeness within your next quest and journey.

Jamie Harrison

Jamie Harrison

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • San Marcos, TX


Hi, I’m Jamie Harrison, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with individuals ages 6 to 99, as well as couples and families, who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward but are ready for something to change.

You might be experiencing anxiety, depression, overthinking, emotional ups and downs, relationship stress, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Sometimes it’s not just one issue it’s a combination of life transitions, stress, or patterns that feel difficult to break.

When working with children and adolescents, I focus on helping them build tools to manage anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, anger, impulsive behaviors, and life changes in ways that feel supportive and age-appropriate.

With adults, I support clients in navigating life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, negative thinking patterns, self-esteem struggles, and challenges with connection helping them develop practical skills to feel more grounded and in control.

When working with couples and families, I help improve communication, strengthen connection, and navigate conflict, life changes, and transitions in healthier, more effective ways.

In our work together, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I take a compassionate and practical approach, helping you not only process what you’re going through, but also build tools you can use in your everyday life.

I have experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and therapy with me is collaborative—we move at your pace, focus on what matters most to you, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Austin

Finding couples therapists in Austin starts with understanding what you want to work on together. Austin couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or intimacy concerns. Not all therapists have specific training in couples counseling, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists, or therapists who list couples-focused approaches such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their profiles.

Austin has a large mental health care market, with therapists across areas like downtown Austin, South Congress, North Austin, and nearby communities. Having many options can make the search harder for two people with different schedules, location needs, and preferences. Some couples prefer in-person sessions near work or home, while others choose virtual appointments to make shared scheduling easier. As you compare Austin marriage counseling options, review each therapist’s bio for their approach, availability, session structure, and whether they offer a brief consultation to assess fit.

Couples therapy in Austin can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for couples counseling in Austin by insurance, availability, specialty, and appointment format. You can review therapist profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients, making it easier to find relationship counseling that matches your needs and your plan.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
